Shrinking Adam's Apple

An apple-shaped jowl or "Adam's apple" is an area on the lower face that is mostly seen in men. In some people, the jowl area may be overdeveloped or prominent, and this may be aesthetically undesirable. Adam's apple reduction is a surgical procedure used to resolve this condition. During the procedure, the fat and tissues in the jowl area are removed, resulting in a thinner and firmer appearance. Reduction of the Adam's apple is a procedure that is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes about an hour. During the procedure, the skin is cut and the fat and tissues underneath are removed. Afterwards, the incisions are closed with stitches and a bandage is applied to the patient's jowl area.

Adam's apple reduction is generally applied to people who lead a healthy lifestyle and are of normal weight. The technique used during the procedure may vary according to the anatomy and wishes of the person. However, the most appropriate technique and procedure should be determined by a plastic surgeon.

Like any surgical procedure, reducing the Adam's apple involves some risks. These risks include infection, bleeding, hypersensitivity reactions and anesthesia problems. However, usually these risks are low and the transaction is completed successfully. Reduction of the Adam's apple is generally considered a cosmetic surgery and may not be covered by health insurance. However, in some cases, this procedure may need to be done for medical purposes and may be covered by insurance. That's why it's recommended to check your insurance plan and coverage prior to the transaction.
